Our Thoughts on HEAVEN - Sanctifying

Christian told Prudence one of the means of overcoming sin which was effectual in his own walk was:

"When my thoughts wax warm about whither I am going -- that will do it."

With heaven in mind, my 10 year old daughter spouted off the following poem. I asked her to write it down and send to me, here it is. We ought, like Bunyan's Christian, have thoughts that WAX WARM ABOUT WHITHER we are going.

Our family of sevenin heaven where there is no sorrowor tomorrowjust lightnot nightwhere there is street of goldnot moldwhere I stay earnestlyand eternally.

1Pe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.

Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

Studying with hope to emulate the kitchen work of Bunyan's humble cook, who same as his name always invites us to Taste-That-Which-Is-Good, serving up true spiritual food for those with an appetite and desire for a spiritual table.
